As you are likely aware, Equifax was hacked back in July and 143 million accounts were leaked.
http://www.bbc.com/news/business-41192163
They have kindly set up a web site for their customers to see if they were among the leaked accounts.

Before you check though, be warned that the terms and conditions explicitly waive your right to sue (or join a class action suit) against Equifax. The company has actually lobbied to kill protections for victims of data breaches!

And although they claim not to have been aware, executives at Equifax dumped over a million dollars of their stock prior to announcing the breach.

Equifax was even hacked five months prior to the event above.

Furthermore they'll apparently just blindly say you were affected, no matter what you enter on their "Was my account hacked" page.
